I’m a SQL Server Consultant and DBA

My name is John Sansom and I’m a Microsoft Certified Master(MCM) of SQL Server.

I’m the Technology Operations Manager of the data services team at Expedia, where I’m wholly responsible for one of the largest SQL Server estates in operation.

I specialise in solution architecture and performance-tuning, providing SQL Server consulting expertise to Expedia’s global business teams, as well as independently through my own company Santech Solutions.

I’ve been working with database technology in a variety of flavors for over fifteen years. I absolutely love what I do and genuinely feel privileged to be a part of our tremendous technology community.

Ask anyone who has experience working with SQL Server and they will tell you that the very best thing about it is our community. We’re passionate about our profession and absolutely love helping others with their technology challenges.
